This transition precedes the advent of Covid-19 but has been hastened by the pandemic. However, these new technologies also bring with them new digital practices. A crucial means by which communication is enacted is by reading e-textbooks. However, e-textbooks may enable different forms of engaging with written text than are offered by traditional, print textbooks. Despite this need, only a few studies have been conducted on students’ use of e-textbooks in engineering education. In this study, data were collected by way of focus-group interviews conducted with first-year students from two engineering departments (chemical engineering and nautical science) at a university of technology in South Africa. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis using ATLAS.ti. In order to analyze and contextualize the findings obtained, the researchers make use of a theoretical framework, Mediated Discourse Analysis (MDA). The findings provide insight into how students engage with e-textbooks and how this might be different from engaging with traditional, print textbooks. The findings also reveal the extent to which some new digital literacy reading practices remain unfamiliar to engineering students.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131811005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While remaining grounded in visual and rhetorical theory, this class also emphasizes the production of contemporary visual artifacts and in-class critiques of those artifacts. The class not only helps students identify and implement effective and attractive visual design, but also helps them develop the language and understanding to provide direct constructive feedback to classmates on the classmates’ own visual design work. Students need no prior experience in visual design theory or applications and can access free open-source academic materials and software. During the semester, students•Read and discuss open-source texts on graphic design principles and visual rhetorical theory.•Design and compose eight weekly visual assignments, ranging from the simple (an abstract animal icon), to the persuasive (a propaganda poster) to the informative (an infographic).•Participate in weekly in-class critiques of their classmates’ design assignments.•Compose a visually oriented research paper on a chosen topic in visual rhetoric.•Design a final visual assignment that serves as an entry to STC’s Technical Communication journal cover design contest.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115809982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing course texts, such as syllabi and assignments, as well as faculty interviews and student focus groups, we identify and summarize several key topic areas regarding the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that students develop in their writing in the disciplines course and employ (with varying degrees of awareness) to be successful in their senior-level writing-intensive courses. The initial results suggest that the junior-level writing in the discipline course acts as kind of “introduction to WID” even though it is not designated as such. Moreover, taking this course prior to their senior seminar and capstone experiences enables students to become familiar with the disciplinary genres, conventions, and expectations and prepares them to identify what they do not know when faced with new writing situations. Lastly, the advanced courses’ focus on ethics and interacting with professionals in the field seems to encourage a problem-solving disposition in students, giving them the skills to know where to turn to fill in gaps in their knowledge and the confidence to trust their evaluation of the sources they find.","PeriodicalId":286504,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129526299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
